As I recall it they went from 80's pretty good to 90's dominant when they started getting their skill players from the LA area something happened and they lost that (Osborne retired is one obvious catalyst) and they went down hard for the past 25 years or so.

I think I read that something demographic happened and that midwest farm boy base took a hit as well (their famed walk on program).

Still gets back to talent in my mind, if you are in a remote are with nothing for kids to do you are going to have to sell something else and they don't have much to sell. Same basic pattern Nebraska showed.

They also couldn't load up on prop-48 kids once they joined the B12. The academic cases that other schools couldn't take (or had strict limits on how many) were their bread and butter. A joke at the time was that Nebraska players could do everything with a football except autograph it.
